I'm not sure I agree.
static struct pci_driver qib_driver = {
.name = QIB_DRV_NAME,
.probe = qib_init_one,
.remove = qib_remove_one,
.id_table = qib_pci_tbl,
.err_handler = &qib_pci_err_handler,
};
The only caller is the probe function, which naturally protects since the
device cannot be used until the probe returns.
Are you actually having an issue with this older version of a qib card?
The other board specific routines if this indeed is an issue, would need to be
fixed as well since that have the same chip specific routine.
